Hello,
I tried to look into a core dump from a -current kernel with
'gdb' but all i get is:
--------------8><-----------------------------
root@current - /var/crash
504 # gdb kernel.debug vmcore.0
GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD]

This GDB was configured as "i386-marcel-freebsd"...
"/var/crash/vmcore.0" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) quit
--------------8><-----------------------------
I looked at the man-pages of gdb(1), savecore(8) and into the
'Developers Handbook' but I didn't find anything about the
correct file format of a core dump.
If I look at /var/crash/info.0, there's:
--------------8><-----------------------------
Good dump found on device /dev/da0s1b
Architecture: i386
Architecture version: 1
Dump length: 268369920B (255 MB)
Blocksize: 512

Hostname: current.best-eng.de
Versionstring: FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #5: Sat Jul 10 12:37:27 CEST 2004
root@current.best-eng.de:/raid/obj/usr/src/sys/CURRENT
Panicstring: unmount: dangling vnode
Bounds: 0
--------------8><-----------------------------
Did I overlook something? Has someone a pointer or hint for me?
